★★★★★ – Great pizza & superb service!
The pizza was truly delicious – especially if you like the thicker, American style. My wife had a gluten-free pizza with homemade dough (or so it seemed) – it tasted amazing! The service was very friendly and attentive. We'll be back!
Good place in the city centre for a quick bite. Gluten free lavash available. The waiter was knowledgeable and offered a variety of gluten free options. Also warned for contamination. Gluten free lavash was a few euros extra.
Unfortunately, bad experience with gluten-free pizza, the dough was completely raw and therefore inedible. I also advise against it because you could already see it from the edge, a pizza like this shouldn't have been delivered!
Great bruschetteria for a tasty meal. We ate some great bruschetta with red shrimp and carbonara. Fair prices. Friendly staff and fast service. They also have vegan and gluten-free options. Also pet-friendly.
I called this restaurant because I am celiac. When booking I mentioned that I have a certified pet therapy Labrador dog. Unfortunately they told me that I cannot enter the restaurant with the dog. I was very sorry about this.
I am writing this review for those who have medium or large sized dogs: unfortunately you are not welcome.
Really sad in 2025.
The fact that they have gluten-free pizza that tastes like pizza means a lot. Everyone very kind and helpful. Glimpse of the marina that always makes you feel like you're on holiday.

My family spent a week in Italy (Florence and at Lake Garda/Desenzano) and our first dinner at Al Portico was so fantastic and the experience at this family owned restaurant so delightful that we had to go back. The second meal was even better as we felt like we were having a Sunday family dinner in Naples! They were also incredibly helpful around our gluten sensitivity issues as well. I highly recommend having a meal here when in Desenzano!
We celebrated our wedding and we were pampered from start to finish, we were 17 people including one with celiac disease and they were very attentive to everything. Let me start by saying that we are regular customers so we knew the competence of those who manage it and the goodness of the food. Absolutely recommended.
Good ice cream, BUT little attention to food intolerances. I asked if they had a gluten free cone and they said no. I then took a cup and absentmindedly ordered the kinder bueno taste. The boy at the counter didn't point out to me that there was gluten in the kinder bueno flavor and served it to me calmly.
The location is beautiful, then the staff is kind (they brought water to the dog of their own free will), then... the pizza! There is no better pizza in Desenzano, maybe even in all of Brescia and even more! Try the gluten-free one or the whole wheat one, also try the vegan one with mortadella and vegan mozzarella! The cost is slightly higher, but it is really worth it!
